Questions to ask any recruiting provider
Evaluate the provider against your actual role and hospital requirements. Request clear answers and written terms rather than relying on a generic ranking.
- Who sources candidates and what screening is performed?
- What will our practice need to do during the search?
- What becomes payable if the search does not result in a hire?
Prepare the role brief
Write down the information a candidate needs to evaluate the position before the search begins.
- Name the discipline and the required specialist credentials.
- Describe equipment, referral relationships and supporting staff.
- Define clinical autonomy, service development and on-call expectations.
Plan the work location in San Jose.
Santa Clara County has 15 incorporated cities, and San Jose is only one of them. Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Los Gatos and the others are cities in their own right, so keep each opening tied to its municipality. Fremont and Newark are in Alameda County, and East Palo Alto and Menlo Park are in San Mateo County, so they are outside this site’s coverage. Identify any rotation between San Jose, the northern cities, the West Valley or South County, and let candidates judge their own travel against actual shift times.
Describe the clinical service, support team, work address and schedule together. For a specialist, separate established facilities from planned investment; for a medical director, explain the clinical and management split and who hires associates. A role that moves between San Jose and another city needs an explicit site list and schedule. This site describes employer hiring coverage without claiming a San Jose recruiting office.

The Board’s license page describes the search, and each record shows whether a license is current, expired or subject to disciplinary action. Assign a person to verify status, record the date and resolve questions with the Board. Check any additional specialty credentials required by the employer with the issuing organization.
